Frank Herbert's Dune must be the king of fantasy SF, if there is such a thing. It doesn't really have aliens, but it feels like sf and fantasy.

Ursula K Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness has a fully realised alien world, Winter. It's the efforts a lone envoy to admit this planet to an the enlightened harmony of worlds.

My favourite SF book is Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon. It begins in England in the 30s but expands out to encompass stranger and stranger alien races and the history of all cosmoses.

Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles is a great book.
 
I'm looking for some good fantasy science fiction novels that are set in the future. You know, space travel, aliens, etc.

I've read a few hard sci fi novels and to tell the truth, they get a little boring. I don't need to know the science behind the story's worlds. And to tell the truth it kinda detracts from the main story getting on. So anyways just looking for some good FANTASY science fiction.

Please list the authors names of any books you recommend and give me a brief idea of what the story is, but without spoiling anything.

Thanks
 
Issac Asimov: Caves of Steel, Foundation and Empire, I Robot, are just a few of his 400 books.

A.E. Van Vogt: The weapon Shops of Isher

Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Stranger in a Strange Land,

Larry Niven: Ring World

All of these authors have written many books and have won Hugo awards for their works.
